 Pike Place Chowder

A classic must, must, MUST when in Seattle.

Ordered On:
06July23
4 chowders Sampler USD19.95
The Stars by ranking
No1 New England Clam Chowder
No2 The Changing market special with crab, lobster and clams
A high 2 or close swap is the Crab, Oyster & Chorizo Chowder.
The vegetarian Lime & Coconut Chowder was a total miss.
Captain's Roll USD21.95
*Its pretty okay but not worth it I felt. The Lobster Roll was even more pricey at a monsterous USD34.95. For value lobster rolls, probably Luke's Lobster. For a good take on a lobster roll would probably be at Burgers and Lobsters. (Prices would have probably increased much by then)
Total USD50 with Tip
Food 4.5/5
Value 4.5/5 only for the chowder sampler!
Service n/a
Ambience 3/5

Living up to its accolades. The best chowder had to date. Go for the value sampler. It may look small but it is incredibly filling. Beats out clam chowders by famous Boudin in San Francisco, as edges out better clam chowders at Fog Harbor's restaurant.

Total USD46/Pax for FOOD only
Food 3/5

(In totality. Some of the recommended dishes were pretty good,
but some were complete misses.)
Value 3/5
(and that's having lounge food at 50% to share. It may score a little higher but the portions are small..)
Service 4/5

*Excellent and super attentive to our big group*
Ambience 3/5

Lounge item stand out dishes were the grilled octopus, american waygu beef carpaccio, Oysters and Tiramissu were on point. The Frutto di Mare has potential but some of the mussels were on the brink of turning and sourded the experience. The grille doctopus was really well done but the best had still goes to the one prepared at Duck and Waffle London.

The 50% off is a great offer especially to share a variety of items but portions are small and light. For great Italian value eats, the popular joint is La Conchiglia in Milan, a must go when in a group and fantastic for sharing! Note their ciesta timings!

Value 3.5/5

An all American sports bar dining with a little something for everyone.
- What's great is that there's all sorts of eats.
- Food worked out to be about USD22 Per pax after taxes.
- The table tablet is able to split bills individually and everyone can pay on their own with no hassle at all.

Most had the burgers were on point with their flavor profiles but the fries were not as crispy and could have faired much better. Their tri flavored garlic, lime and sriracha Aioli's were on pint thou. If looking for rice, note that mostly its quinoa.
Best fries still with Grill'd from Australia and best burger still with Peal's Deluxe.
